Asia University (AU) is a visionary, pioneering, and fast-growing school, and was founded with the goal of establishing a remarkable and comprehensive university with international competitiveness. Karl Jaspers, a German philosopher, believed that an ideal university must have three features- academic teaching, scientific research, and a creative cultural life, which exactly are what we have been pursuing for years since the establishment of the school. To improve the quantity and quality of research outputs, AU has established research centers in each college such as the Center for Food Safety, the T-DNA Tagged Rice Service Center, and the Edible and Medicinal Mushrooms Research Center in the College of Medical and Health Science. Also found in AU are the Center for Semantic Biomedical Computing in the College of Information and Electrical Engineering; the Center for Leisure lndustry and Rural Tourism in the College of Management; the Internet Addiction Prevention Center in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences; and the Center for Animation and Game Development in the College of Creative Design.
